Prince George, B.C. – The Coldsnap Music Festival is underway as once again the Prince George Folkfest Society has brought together a diverse range of talents, both local and from farther afield.

 

Things kicked off Friday night at the Ramada Ballroom with an indie dance night featuring summer festival favourites Shred Kelly, rising Vancouver music stars and 2011 Peak Performance winners Current Swell, as well as Prince George Idol winner Chazz Amos.

 

That will be followed tonight by an Eclectic Funky Celtic Ceilidh featuring Prince George singer Andrew McFayden, the raucous King Crow and the Ladies From Hell hailing from Terrace, and multi award-winning East Coast musician Troy MacGillivray and Friends.

 

On Sunday, things move to the PG Playhouse for an intimate evening of Aboriginal Artists. Don Amero is a star in the Winnipeg music scene, described as John Mayer-meets-Toby Keith. Also performing that evening is the fabulous Diyet and her band from the Yukon. Diyet is an amazing contemporary aboriginal artist who is focuses on removing the barriers and stereotypes that face modern aboriginal people.

 

Monday and Tuesday will once again showcase local talent at the ArtSpace, with a lineup still to be finalized. And there is plenty more winter entertainment through the week.
